Sam has take-home pay every month of $800. He anticipates that his expenses will add up to $675 for the month. In a zero-based budget, why is it important that she put the extra $125 in SOME budget category?

Respuesta :

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

The Zero-based budgeting technique assumes there will be no balance bought forward nor balance carried forward. Budget preparation for a particular period must start from zero or scratch. Each expense must be on merit. Income and expenses must match.  In the zero-based budget, the difference between income and expenditure must be zero.

If Sam has an income of $800 and expenses of $675, she has to re-work her costs again to ensure they match her income. The zero-based budget demands she draws her expenses list again and comes up with a way of spending the $125 difference.
